The chief instigator of this new event is Grand Rapids' own The Waxies -- Brendan Malloy, Mack Adama, Conor Bardallis, Michael Prokopchuk and Miles Anderson -- which has been hammering out its Celtic-tinged rock for the past couple of years.

The band has been working on a brand new album, "In Pursuit of Dicey Riley," at Double D Productions. "Sound Check" today is featuring a track from that upcoming CD, "The Holy Ground."
